MyGamer: Heavy Rain Review

Since the initial tech demo revealed back when the PS3's hype train had just begun, Heavy Rain had a lot to live up to. Some could say it was expected due to the game being developed by the same studio that brought Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit, an ambitious cinematic experience that fell short from a gameplay perspective. Despite developer and marketing claims that bill the game under the genre "interactive drama", what the game feels like is an evolution of a genre that's been mostly forgotten for over a decade, the Adventure Game.
